    Η χρήση της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης επιτάχυνε σημαντικά τον νομικό έλεγχο των εγγραπτέων πράξεων, συνεπάγεται δε την ανάγκη πρόβλεψης κατάλληλων δικλείδων ασφαλείας.

Details

AI system

Workflow

For each deed the AI system identified the applicable legal rule and possible defects. It also cross-checked the deed's data against the Cadastre's databases. A digital assistant pointed reviewers to the passages and attachments that needed further examination.

Follow-up

Conditions for replication

Human reviewers must keep their own judgment, with checks of the system's results, regular audits and staff training. Enough staff must work in the cadastral offices to clear pending deeds and objections.

Entry details

Sector

Public administration (land registration).

Purpose

The Ministry of Digital Governance built the AI system to read each deed and draft a recommendation on its legal defects for the official who decides.

Not yet checked: model, release, provider, role, configuration, inputs and outputs, autonomy, human oversight, AI contribution, beneficiaries, reach, distribution and access, duration, every measurement question, every money question, ownership and control, dependencies, cross-border connections, geopolitical implications, replication attempts, availability, institutional decision, grounds, action and result, success criterion, every evidence question, observed or intended, alternative assessments, related entries, other identifiers, category mappings.
